HELLO FRIENDS!!!! 

    Another week down. This week wasn’t too crazy other than we now have someone on date for baptism!!!!! WOOOOOO!!! And this one looks promising. Before we get into that we will start with other good things. 

    On pday we went to Costco and Chick Fil A, so that was fire. Played a murder game which was fun too. 

    We had zone conference. It was really good. I missed the breakout rooms bc I was with Sister Heaton and she had to do the training for one of them. So I only got to see one other breakout room, but it was really good. Overall Zone Conference was fire! Food was good too.

    Had dinner with Elder and Sister Wing. Sooo yummyyy. We had spaghetti and that was delicious. And Sister Wing made some FIRE, peach cobbler! 🔥 It was like. SO. Good. That was a good meal. We learned that Elder and Sister Wing have gone on 5 missions I think. Crazzzyyy. Also Elder Wing has like. A lot of credentials. Don’t know what for, but that’s what he told us. 

    We had a Book of Mormon class. And that was good. We read Jacob 5. Longest chapter of my life. But it was good. We played a game of “how many comments can we make doctrinal points?” We successfully hit like 7 points. That was fun.

    Had a delish brunch with President Merritt and his wife. 🤌 They have a “healthy rainbow”  That’s like one of their many motos. We had avocado toast and some fruit and some other things and it was so so yummyyy. They had grits. I’ve never had those before. But I wasn’t a fan. Other than that it was great. We did personal study and comp study and those were both good. Overall an amazing brunch. 
After brunch we had to scurry over to a guys house so we could do some service!! We had to move mulch into this guys flower farm. He has a farm of Hawaiian flowers. I don’t know the name of them. That was a lot of fun, the elders helped with that. It was good. 

    There was a Swahili wedding at the church, and the Swahili elders told us we could go after prime time and get food. The wedding was so fun. So much dancing and very loud music 💃🏻.  But it was exciting!!! And the food. DELISH. So good! Wish we got more, but we had to go, unfortunately.

    Our friend who is getting baptized is James!! The goat fr 🐐. This is not 9 yr old James. This one is better, he’s like 62. He keeps calling Sister Heaton, Sister Keaton, and it is sooo funny. Anyways. He called us last Saturday asking to go to church, and he was like super excited about it. We found him a ride to church and he was able to make it! He seemed to really like it. And so we have literally taught him everyday this week. Some in person lessons, some call lessons, but he is really wanting to be baptized. He keeps telling us that he wants to do something with his life and be a part of something instead of just sitting around waiting to have a stroke. So. Pray he doesn’t have a stroke before this baptism. 🙏 Anyways. We taught him the word of wisdom, and he said he is going to go cold turkey on drinking coffee and tea. And I was like wow. So good for him. He is preparing and is getting super excited. He believes literally everything we say. The trust and faith in this man is great. He also tells us “whatever you say Sister Keaton. You’re the boss and I’m here to learn.” He is great! Sister Heaton and I are super excited for him. He is going to be so much happier and I know he’s just gonna love it. So I will keep yall updated on that. He also made me a bracelet!! 

    Bonus. We get to go to a Padres game this week!!! YAAAYYYYY!!!! 🥳🥳  I am so excited. And we’re doing an ultimate finding week. So there will be lots of knocking and lots of convos. Not excited for knocking but I’m getting better. I had my first good scripture read at a door so that was helpful. But bc it’s a competition, Sister Heaton and I will be winning. We just need to beat the English elders and we’ll be good. So stay tuned for how that goes. Super exciting week tho!!

Spiritual thought…
D&C 95:1- Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you whom I love, and whom I love I also chasten that their sins may be forgiven, for with the chastisement I prepare a way for their deliverance in all things out of temptation, and I have loved you. 

    Reminder. God loves you, always has and always will. No matter what is happening in your life he will always welcome you. And he will wait for you with open arms. Turn to him and he will help you and show you his love for you. #godisgood 

    Love you all!! ♡  Hope you had a good week. Ttynw!!

Peace ✌🏻 and love 🫶
